Hi everyone,
Despite the low level of action, I’ve been spending a lot of time
*thinking* about Avogadro and the future. There are quite a few exciting
things, although it may take a while before they fully appear.
One thing I can talk about is pushing for tutorials and manuals.
The University of Pittsburgh is putting money and student-power towards
improving tutorials and manuals for Avogadro. We’re converting from a
proprietary program to Avogadro over the next two years. So we’ll be
putting up workflows, learning exercises, etc.
One thing I'm considering is moving away from MediaWiki. It's insecure and
spammy. The whole point was to let people easily edit the pages, and that
doesn't work now.
I'm open to suggestions, but I'd like to suggest GitHub pages. These are
generated from a repo, so it's easy to add a pull request to modify them,
translate, etc. As static pages, they're easier to package and distribute
too.
One catch is converting from MediaWiki to Jekyll, so if someone can help
with that, eg parsing the XML dump, please let me know.
Thoughts? Better alternatives?
Thanks,
Geoff
